SCHEDULE OF ACTIVITIES FOR REED CANARY GRASS <br /> Year 1 <br /> Fall Application of Glyphosate(Rodeo,Roundup): A fall application of glyphosate <br /> will kill off nearly 100%of the existing reed canary grass. Make sure that the plant is still <br /> physiologically active before spraying. <br /> Year 2 <br /> Spring Application of Glyphosate: This spring application will kill the grasses <br /> seed bank as it begins to grow. Reed canary grass is one of the first plants to emerge and <br /> one of the last plants to go dormant in the fall thus making it an easy target for herbicides. <br /> Spring Seeding: After the glyphosate application has taken place in the spring the <br /> suggested seed mix should be planted. This planting should not take place until 14 days <br /> after the application has taken place. <br /> Year 3 <br /> Verify that the area is still dominated or becoming dominated by native species. <br /> If reed canary grass still persists, another spring application followed by a fall application <br /> may be needed. The early and late glyphosate application can also be effective,providing <br /> 99%control in the first year(Paveglio&Kilbride 1996). <br /> SPECIES RECOMMENDATIONS FOR PLANTING <br /> Attachment A contains a recommended Minnesota state seed mix,Riparian South and West <br /> (34-261). This mix can be used in the bare areas that will likely be created as a result of <br /> buckthorn removal(Wetland Buffer). <br /> 16-19986 Franzel Addition -800 North Arm Dr. <br /> Vegetation Management Plan <br />
